Idle Control System

When the engine is cold, if the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is pressed, or the 12 volt battery is charging, the PCM sends signals to the throttle actuator to maintain the correct idle speed.

Brake Pedal Position Switch

The brake pedal position switch signals the PCM when the brake pedal is pressed.
